- 001sky 12y agoNo offense but this is pretty common. Also, "in the field" you'd have a hard time differentiating a fairly-stochastic chance outcome (or 'luck') from a loaded die without a bit of infrastructure in place for your benefit. The two are probably related and nothing to get worked up about, IMHO.

- Apocryphon 12y agoI can't reconcile that men of science (internet atheists) can't comprehend other people (non-atheists) for being able to have seemingly contradictory beliefs. Do you think you're above cognitive dissonance yourself, dude?
